Quick answer
Glympse nails one job.
Glympse nails one job. Sharing your location for twenty minutes while you drive over. The problem is the other twenty-three hours, when you don’t want to broadcast anything at all. That gap is where Parages lives. Friends sit on a private map, and the app only speaks up when one of them is actually close to you.
In one sentence
Parages pings you when you pass near a friend. It tracks nobody.
Their neighborhood, not their exact address. Only you see your list, and nothing is shared.
No continuous tracking, no shared location. Parages sleeps in your pocket.
You pass near a friend, and your phone says “You’re 300 m from Thomas 👋”. Right when it matters.
No. Parages never shares or stores your live location. It only checks, on your own phone, whether you are close to a friend you added, and pings you if so.
There will be a free plan that covers the core feature: getting pinged when you pass near a friend. A paid tier will add history and travel stats later.
No. You can add a friend just by noting roughly where they live. They never know they are in your private book.
Parages is coming soon. Drop your email, we’ll tell you first. No spam, just the day it opens.
